I feel the same way about that as well. I have VX and VS programs and I keep earning miles separately, in other words, credit the VS flights to VS FC, credit the VX flights to VX Elevate. Once you cross earn miles on each other's programs, it's poor value. IMO, the reason you would want to earn VS miles by flying VX is to earn tier points on VS if you are close to a threshold.
